On Sunday I was in Findlay for the Findlay Red White & Blue, the  YMCA's Half Marathon and 10K at Riverbend Park. Even though it was a rainy morning, that didn't seem to affect the runners.

All of the sponsors and volunteers, including Stephanie Parsons, deserve a round of applause for all of their hard work. And I want to give special recognition to the Marines and Future Marine volunteers, and Team RWB.

 I was stationed at the finish line, taking photos of each runner at the end of the race. The look on many of their faces reflected the determination each one had to accomplish their goal.

I do want to apologize to the runners whose photo's I didn't get. Unfortunately, there was a point when the rain and wind picked up so much that I had to take cover for a short period of time. More accurately, I had to get my camera under cover. Rain and digital cameras don't mix very well, lol.

Congratulations to the winner of the Half Marathon, Angela Matthews, who set a new course record!

 I had a great time, and I hope the YMCA asks me to come back next year.
